Set Public Hearing For <br /> (SPEC. NO. 09-052) <br /> CONTINUED TO <br /> FILE NUMBER <br /> CITY MANAGER <br /> RECOMMENDED ACTION <br /> Amend the contract with Pacific Services for the purchase of a micro-wave based network <br /> system, including installation and maintenance support, by $38,000 for an annual amount not to <br /> exceed $85,000. <br /> DISCUSSION <br /> A wireless optical laser system is used to connect the City's computer network between the Data <br /> Center in City Hall and the Data Center in the Police Building. This network link provides critical <br /> connections for the Police and Jail Operations. Until recently, the system has proven very <br /> effective. However, to service the expanding needs of crime analysis, it is necessary to increase <br /> the network bandwidth capacity and reliability through an improved micro-wave based network. <br /> On November 2, 2009, the City Council awarded a contract to Pacific Services to improve <br /> network connectivity between City Hall and the Corporation Yard via the BridgeWave system - a <br /> market leader in this technology category. The system has proved an effective solution and it is <br /> now recommended to extend the micro-wave network to the Police Administration facility to <br /> enhance capacity and capabilities for the Police Department. <br /> 22C-1 <br /> <br />
